he's in rehoboth beach. what's it like there? >> rehoboth beach, bethany beach, dewey beach and fenwick island are the four beaches and they've lost quite a bit of beach because of what my surfer friends call the absolutely radical waves we've seen on the atlantic ocean today. of all the hurricanes i've covered, i've never seen waves this big. i would estimate, and so would my colleagues, tle were 20 to 25-foot waves here. i've seen that high before in the pacific, but never in the atlantic in the hurricanes we've covered. but the people here in delaware, in ocean city, which is in maryland, in virginia, all part of the delmarva peninsula, as i know you know well, erin, because you're from the area, the people consider themselves very lucky, because the main thrust of this storm ended up going 40 miles to the north of us. there's flooding here, cars under water, streets that are flooded. it's not nearly as bad as it could have been. the most important news, we don't know of any casualties on the delmarva peninsula from storm sand
